Upcoming aquaponic courses!

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

Byspokes is proud to announce two upcoming aquaponic courses, to be held in Bait Ali lodge in Wadi Rum, Jordan. These courses will use the system we installed in the lodge over the summer as the focal point for the training.

Course dates are:
16-18 November 2012
21-23 December 2012

The December course will be preceded by an agroforestry workshop focussing on multiple-use tree species appropriate for arid zones, delivered by Alice Gray, an ecologist and permaculture expert that has been working in this field in the West Bank for the past six years.

Urban aquaponics!!

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

We are very excited to finally manage to do a system in an urban area. The system is located in Wadi Shaheen, Bethlehem. For the past couple of days we have been building the system with the family. Soon we will be doing an intensive weekend course so that they can manage the system by themselves and start planting!

Thanks again for your donations and support!

Aquaponics in the Jordan Valley

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

We started constructing 6 aquaponic systems in the Jordan Valley project with OXFAM Italia on the 3rd of February 2012. We are now very close to the end of the project; it makes us sad to leave the lovely bedouin community of Aqbat Jaber but we are very happy with our achievements, and we are sure they are as well. For more details check the project section of our website!

Finally! After much fighting with computers, we have finally transferred our website to a new host – iPage – who use only wind power for their electricity needs (see our shiny badge on the right!). Please bear with us as we work to update everything, and sling in photos where we can….

New website!
